Reception - Spring 2 - Week 3

Date: 6th Mar 2024 @ 1:38pm

In RE this week we learnt that a parable is a story told by Jesus to help us to know how to live our lives. We listened to a parable called ‘The sower’ and talked about how Jesus wants us to be with one another. We discussed that the hidden message was that that the seed that the sower was planting in the story represents the teachings of God's Word. We then planted our own seeds in class to watch them grow.

In Forest school this week, the children used the magnifying glasses to have a close look at the bark on the trees. We discovered that some trees were smooth and some were rough and bumpy. The children then worked in pairs to complete some bark rubbings. Well done everyone!

On Thursday the children all dressed up as their favourite book characters for world book day. The children walked down the catwalk to show off their amazing costumes and we talked about what our favourite book is and why. We were joined by our Year 6 buddies to enjoy our favourite stories together and then held our own puppet show. What a fun day we have had!

On Friday we marked international women’s day and talked about the importance of celebrating the amazing women in our lives. We read a lovely story called ‘Girls can do anything’ and discussed why it is important for everyone to be treated equally.

We have continued our theme of Animals around the world and this week we have looked at South America. We first located South America on the map and then looked at the different animals that are found there. We looked at the different habitats and thought about why we don’t see the same animals in the wild in the UK.
